Rooted + Resilient ~ A Workshop for Lower Back Health

With Mel + Shae | Saturday, November 29th | 3–6 PM | $100

Your lower back is the bridge between stability and freedom — the place where you stand tall yet learn to bend with life’s changing winds.

Join us for a nourishing afternoon of mindful movement, education, and deep rest designed to help you feel grounded, supported, and strong from the inside out.

Mel will guide you through gentle diaphragmatic pranayama and mobility work to awaken awareness through the hips, spine, and core — exploring how fluid movement and healthy range of motion can bring new ease and freedom to the body.

Shae, a Certified Kinesiologist, will then lead a strength and conditioning sequence focused on stability, balance, and intelligent alignment — teaching you how to protect and empower your lower back with evidence-based movement patterns.

We’ll finish with restorative lower-back asanas and a kidney-focused sound bath inspired by the Water element — a soothing immersion to calm the nervous system, replenish energy, and release tension from the back body and beyond.

This workshop is for anyone who wants to:
▪️ Build strength, awareness, and mobility in the lower back and core
▪️ Move with confidence after injury, tightness, or chronic discomfort
▪️ Counter the effects of long hours of sitting or desk work
▪️ Understand the connection between mobility, stability, and long-term back health
▪️ Individualize their practice for sustainable wellbeing

No previous yoga or strength experience required — just curiosity, openness, and a willingness to explore.

Kidney-nourishing tea + treats will be offered.

Includes a kinesiology component led by Certified Kinesiologist Shae Lavoie. Participants may be eligible for $50 reimbursement through extended health benefits. Receipts for the kinesiology portion will be issued directly by Shae.

We'd love you to join us!
